Before long, summer will be here! Summer, of course, means vacations and the exploration of new places.
Vacations can be valuable educational experiences, not just through visiting historical landmarks and museums, but through the connection of place and literature. Connecting a town, a region, or a landscape with a work of literature can profoundly deepen appreciation for both the place and the story, novel or poem.
For me, the works of William Faulkner took on a whole new dimension for me after I visited Oxford, Mississippi. The journey of the pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales was enhanced for me by a visit to Canterbury Cathedral.
If you're planning a summer vacation and want to turn your destination into unique and rewarding classroom, let me help you organize a brief lists of texts and a study guide related to wherever it is you're going.
